Since early 2006 Kevin Rowland has been forging a successful new career as a D.J. - with appearances at clubs, festivals and on the radio - whilst working on material for the forthcoming Dexys album. Reports indicate that he has been demoing the new songs with producer/D.J. (and occasional Paul Weller side-man) Andy Lewis. There has been no release date announced yet for the long-promised project.
